I believe this clock will probably be much more than $1,000 as most of the Lenzkirch clocks you will find will be wall clocks as the grandfather clocks are not seen very often.

You will have to have a registered appraiser give you information on this clock and it should only be sold in a well established auction house.

I really like asking for appraisals from several free appraisers and with something like this they will get excited. They can tell you a lot about this clock but they will want several good pictures of all sides of the clock and the insides. Have you found the serial number? That is how they are dated.

Here is a link to some of the best appraisal sites.
Please - no matter what else you do - send pictures and information to several of these sites as a personal appraisal will be very expensive.
These appraisers will give you all the information you need if you plan to sell this clock.
Be sure to tell them any provenance that you have as this is valuable information.

Also, be sure to tell them where you are located.

Here is another site to check but they do charge a small fee:

I totally agree with cybergrannie that this handsome clock may fetch well over 1,000. These are very rare and well crafted pieces and I finally found the link I was looking for where one sold for over $30,000 at auction in 2010. There were no photos so I am not sure if the sold piece matched yours but the point is the brand is something that can command very high prices in the right setting:

When you have an item that is potentially rare and valuable, it is always best to leave the sales up to a professional, either an auction house or a retail establishment.

Be sure to vet the seller very carefully asking for references who you talk to yourself and monitor the sale from start to finish.

There is a lot of info on this brand online, so you may want to read up on it as you go through the process. I am going to share a few links:

Please let us know what you learn and how your sale goes.
